Molde FK looked clearly the better side as a nervous Luton Town squad surrendered 3 goals in the first 23 minutes.
Rindaroy started the scoring in the 12th minute with a solid right foot from the 22 yard line was driven by 3 rapidly closing defenders and the goalie into the upper right coerner of the net.
A defensive lapse in the 18th minute by Luton Town's RB Paul Connolly allowed Ely Ounoussi to sneak by him with the ball and into the box where he made a brilliant cross eluding 2 defenders for an easy goal by Hoiland.
The final goal came in the 23rd minute off a corner kick that was nearly cleared out by GK Mark Tyler, but a brilliant header by Hoiland across the box to Singh left Luton Town defenseless and put easily by the keeper.
Luton Town did play better in the 2nd half, holding Luton Town to 4 shots, with only 1 on target, but could simply not get back into the game. As the minutes ticked off, Luton Town got sloppy on defense and fouled CB Luke Wilkinson fouled Sigurdarson in the box. Singh took the penalty, but was thwarted when his shot hit the left post and stayed out.
Prior to the game, Luton Town announced 2 transfers. CM Alex Lawless (61 OVR, Age 31) was sent to Mansfield Town for $120,000. They also added GK Alex Cairns (OVR 59, Age 21) from Leeds United for a reported $180,000. With GK Mark Tyler now 37 years old, it is clear that Cairns is the heir apparent for Luton Town. The only question that remains is when the position will become his.

There's not a lot of good young talent on this squad, so I may approach this team through a youth movement. Since most of my best players are over 30, I'll likely try to move some of them in the summer transfer window and potentially a few more over the winter, depending on how I'm doing.
I've got a reasonable transfer budget of $825,000 and a remaining wage budget of $4,000/wk and will try to make some young acquisitions with it.
My league objective is to fight for promotion and domestic cup objective is to reach the round of 32.

The Cowboys dominated play, but struggled to score. The Titans struggled to move the ball all game, with 2 exceptions that led to both of their scores.

After the Cowboys had tied the game at 3, Jake Locker hit Justin Hunter for a 72 yard score that put them up 10-3.
The Cowboys answered right back, however, with a 5 minute, 13 second, 10 play drive, that was capped off with a 1 yard touchdown run by Lance Dunbar to tie the game at 10.
The Cowboys move to 1-1, while the Titans fall to 0-2.

Effectively chewing up clock as their lead grew from 10-7 at halftime to 24-7 early in the 4th quarter.
A long drive midway through the fourth quarter resulted in a Cowboy field goal. After getting the ball back on a San Francisco punt, Dallas drove the ball the length of the field, but they could not punch the ball in for a score. They turned the ball over on downs with 3:00 left in the game and it was all over.
The Cowboys lose their season opener and drop to 0-1. The 49ers are 1-0.

Dallas again opened an early lead, going up 10-0 early in the 2nd quarter, after an 81 yard drive was capped off with a Laron Byrd touchdown on a pass from Brandon Weeden.
The Cowboys would never trail in the game, but had to sweat out the last few minutes, when, ahead 20-10, Matt Moore hit Dion Sims for a 6 yard touchdown pass to close the gap to 3.
The Dolphins would get the ball twice in the last 3 minutes to tie or win the game, but both drives were interrupted by untime interceptions by Sterling Moore and Cameron Lawrence respectively.
The Cowboys move to 2-1 in the preseason and will make their final roster cuts this week.

The Cowboys scores early and often before a late charge by the Ravens closed the gap and nearly stole a victory.During the 1st quarter, when the starters were on the field, the Cowboys took a 10-0 lead on a Demarco Murray 3 yard touchdown run, after an 8 minute opening drive, and a 42 yard field goal by Dan Bailey on their second drive.
Teams traded field goals in the 2nd quarter, leaving the Cowboys with a 13-3 lead at the half, but the Cowboys weren't done. Gavin Escobar scored on a 9 yard pass from Brandon Weeded early in the 3rd quarter, and a third field goal by Dan Bailey gave the Cowboys a 23-3 lead late into the third quarter.
Game over, right? Not so fast.
A 49 yard field goal by Justin Tucker closed the scoring in the 3rd quarter and the lead was cut to 23-6.
The score remained here until Owen Daniels scored on an 80 yard catch and run on an out route with 3:08 remaining in the game. Daniels broke to the inside before turning out, fooling SS Jeff Heath and springing him for the score.
The Cowboys were able to answer on a 21 yard field goal with 1:47 to go and push their lead to 26-13.
The Ravens answered again driving the length of the field and capping it off with a 6 yard touchdown pass from Tyrod Taylor to Crockett Gillmore with 24 seconds left.
An unsuccessful onside kick later, the game was over as the Cowboys ran out the clock.

The game started out as a potential blowout after the Chargers to a 10-0 lead with 7:05 remaining in the 2nd quarter on a 4 yd touchdown pass to Antonio Gates from Brad Sorensen.
But Charger turnovers kept the Cowboys in the game. With less than a minute remaining in the first half, Kellen Clemens was intercepted by Morris Claiborne when he stepped in front of Seyi Ajirotutu. 41 yards later, the Cowboys closed the gap to 10-7.
Lance Dunbar scored midway through the 3rd quarter to give the Cowboys a 14-10 lead, but the Chargers answered back with a score of their own 7 minutes later.
Tied at 17 late in the fourth quarter, San Diego drove the length of the field, but was stalled at the 1 yard line. An 18 yard field goal left them ahead 20-17 with 1:47 remaining and the Cowboys down to 1 timeout. The Cowboys were able to answer however, thanks to an untimely facemask penalty at the end of a 16 yard completion that the left Cowboys inside field goal range. A 22 yard field goal as time expired sent the game to overtime.

Call it the head coach in me, but I prefer to play in coach mode.
As a lifelong Cowboy fan, I'm taking over the franchise. Starting with the default roster, I'll be guiding my 'Boys through several seasons, in hope of finding a Super Bowl champion.
